    Sajid Nadiadwala named president of AMPTPP

    MUMBAI: Producer, director Sajid Nadiadwala has been named the new president of the Association of Motion Pictures and Television Program Producers (AMPTPP). AMPTPP is a prominent trade body representing film and television producers, at both national and international levels.

    Nadiadwala will now preside over the association as chairperson and ex-officio member of all committees framed and working on different agendas. “This is a big responsibility that has been bestowed upon me by my seniors in the industry, so I will try my best to deliver on it,” Nadiadwala said in a statement.

    The filmmaker, the youngest president of the body, says his first mission is to stop piracy. “There are many issues that we have to look into – the most significant among them is piracy. It`s something that I will look into very seriously in my new role as president of AMPTPP,‘ he pointed out.

    The 46-year-old Nadiadwala, who has produced films like Judwaa, Heyy Babyy and Housefull 2, is now gearing up to don the director`s cap for his upcoming Salman Khan starrer Kick.

    MUMBAI: Sajid Nadiadwala has plans to develop an entire Judwaa franchise, with every subsequent chapter featuring a different leading man.

    Confirming the news Nadiadwala said, ” I will indeed be making a series of Judwaa films. But the whole idea is to have different actors playing double roles every time. Like after Salman in Judwaa, it is Saif in Judwaa 2. Similarly, I will have an actor who havsn‘t played double roles before in Judwaa 3 and so on.”

    Word is going around that Ranbir Kapoor has agreed to play the lead in Judwaa 3.

    Explaining as to why did he take so long to come up with the sequel of the Salman Khan-starrer, Nadiadwala said, “”After Judwaa, I waited for a long time for the same Salman-David Dhawan team to come up with a winning sequel. That was a tactical error and the franchise got stuck in a creative deadlock until Sajid decided he would carry the ‘Judwaa’ concept forward.”

    Sajid Khan will direct Judwaa 2 that is expected to go on the floors later this year.
